ice axes
Mountaineer's handheld picks
Ice axes are mountaineering tools with a pick on one end and a flat blade on the other, mounted on a shaft with a spike at the bottom.
Climbers use them for balance on steep snow and ice, cutting steps, and self-arrest—stopping an uncontrolled slide down a slope.
